Definition of Riemann Sum Let f be defined on the closed interval [a, b], and let Δ be a partition of [a, b] given by a = x0 < x1 < x2 < . . . . < xn – 1 < xn = b, where Δxi is the length of the ith subinterval. If ci is any point in the ith subinterval, then the sum is called a Riemann sum for f for the partition Δ largest subinterval – norm - ||Δ|| or |P| equal subintervals – partition is regular regular partition general partition converse not true

Definition of Definite Integral If f is defined on the closed interval [a, b] and the limit exists, the f is integrable on [a, b] and the limit is denoted by The limit is called the definite integral of f from a to b. The number a is the lower limit of integration, and the number b is the upper limit of integration. Definite integral is a number Indefinite integral is a family of functions If a function f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b], then f is integrable on [a, b].
Evaluating a Definite Integral as a Limit not the area The Definite Integral as Area of Region If f is continuous and nonnegative on the closed interval [a, b], then the area of the region bounded by the graph of f, the x-axis and the vertical lines x = a and x = b is given by
